The Executive Chairman of Ifedore Local Government, Engr Alex Oladimeji has refuted the statement credited to him on 70% of local government staff being absent from their duty post, saying he was misquoted out of context by those circulating such information.
The Chairman granted an interview in the state owned television station OSRC where he answered question regarding the activity of the staff of the council but at no time did he speak ills of the workers nor talk about their retrenchment.
” I was misrepresented by the statement now circulating in every news platform in the state; I will not do anything against the interest of local government workers”.
The Statement that, “only 30% of Ondo State Local Government workers go to their offices” is not my intention rather a twist and misinterpretation of my interview . Let me categorically state for the records, I am a friend of the Labour Unions and would not make such injurious statement. Certainly, I was quoted out of proportion.
He asked the general public, local government workers and leadership of NULGE to disregard the twisted statement credited to him, saying he is partner in progress with the council workers and will always do everything to protect the interest of the workers.
The Press Release Read:
My attention has been drawn to a statement credited to me while I granted a Personality Interview at OSRC last week released today while the Funeral of My Beloved Mother is in progress.
The Statement that, “only 30% of Ondo State Local Government workers go to their offices” is not my intention rather a twist and misinterpretation of my interview . Let me categorically state for the records, I am a friend of the Labour Unions and would not make such injurious statement. Certainly, I was quoted out of proportion.
As an ardent supporter of the Arakunrin Odunayo Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN led administration that prioritizes workers welfare, same is my thrust, propagation and hallmark which is the bane of job security for Ondo State Local Government Employees.
In view of the above, I call on the general public and particularly the entire NULGERIANS of Ondo State to disregard the alleged statement. It is at the instance of my political adversaries meant to smear and vilify my person to an head-on- collision cause with the Ondo State Local Government Employees.
Thank you as I expect your massive turnout at the continuation of my mother’s funeral tomorrow.
Up! UP!! UP NULGE !!!, TOTAL QUALITY.
Signed:
Hon.(Engr.) Alex Akinyele Oladimeji,
Executive Chairman, Ifedore Local Government.
